The upstairs rm is in our Bunkhouse, part of our beautiful oceanfront campground. This is one of the prettiest places on our rockbound coast. The room is clean and quiet. There is no kitchen/ bath in the bunkhouse, however, linens and towels are provided. There is a $25.00 fee for extra guests, if there are more than 2, this fee along with sales tax should be paid upon arrival.

The Bunkhouse sits just a minutes walk from our shoreline. There are two single beds, a small table, two chairs, and a bureau. Linens are provided. There is a tiny deck with room for 2 chairs. It is an insulated space with a heater downstairs if needed. parking is outside the door. The bathhouse with hot showers is 100 yards up our driveway. Ocean front decks, beautiful views.

Stonington is the quintessential lobster fishing village. We catch more lobsters from our port than any other port in Maine.
Our island is in some ways a step back in time.

Bill was a gem! I would have loved to have spent more time here as the season warms up. Bill was flexible with check-in time, responded to text, suggested the local cafe for dinner, was open to setting me up with kayaking if desired, put me in a cozier bunkhouse setting (with heater) than my reservation, and the dog was incredibly sweet as well.

Great value

Ryan2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Great location on a beautiful island. A convenient place to stay if you're interested in exploring the area. We rented a boat and went around for an afternoon which was lovely and also had dinner in charming downtown Stonington. The bunkhouse was just as described. Thanks for a fun and relaxing stay! Would've wanted to stay longer

Blair2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

The bunkhouse was perfect for us. We didn't realize we could tent camp, or would have done that, however it worked out well because it was raining the day we were in stonington and it was nice to not set up our tent in the rain. Bunkhouse was very comfortable and had everything we needed- made bed, pillows, sheets, towels for showering in the bathhouse. Bathhouse is a little walk away and one of the cleanest I've encountered camping. Coin laundry and free water next to bath house. While we were there, my husband and I went on a puffin tour. We ran into a storm and learned I get seasick. Bill was a great captain and had an awesome crew. They have a bathroom below board and brought towels in case anyone got cold. They had a bucket for me and did everything they could to make the trip comfortable. We would happily come back and stay in the bunk house.

Sheena2015-08-12T00:00:00Z

The bunkhouse was just as described—beautiful location with lots of nearby activities!

Graham2016-07-23T00:00:00Z

He made me feel welcome. There was a good variety of activities to do. There was beautiful scenery.

Glenda2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

Old Quarry Ocean Adventures is a cool place! My husband and I stayed in the bunkhouse and even though I accidentally booked the twin beds instead of the queen sized room, we had a great time. The rooms are like typical hostel/campground rooms and are quiet and decently cozy. The place is right on the ocean, it's beautiful and quiet. Capt Bill and his staff are very nice people and accommodating. I can't wait to visit again and do a sea kayak adventure. Thank you Capt Bill and Johnny!

Rosa2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

This place is so amazing! I didn't want to leave. The bunkhouse is the perfect respite from which to launch any number of adventures available on the property. The people were very friendly and incredibly helpful. Captain Bill even saved my dog when he fell in the water! I will be back.

Melanie2016-08-09T00:00:00Z

This place is beautiful! You really cannot have a better location or view on the island. Just a block from downtown. The accommodations were absolutely perfect for our time there! Will definitely come back

Elizabeth2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had a great stay at Anne's. She was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations for where to go in the area. The space was lovely, and very relaxing. We loved using the fireplace. We highly recommend!

My coworker and I had a nice stay at Anne's cottage. The place was as described with everything a traveler might need including coffee supplies, dishes, a microfridge, towels, a first aid kit, etc. Anne even provided an HDMI cable for the television to allow travelers to hook up their own electronics, if desired. We just watched The X-Files on VHS, which was available along with a good-sized collection of comedies, dramas, and family movies. The wifi was a little spotty, but fine for our needs, and it's secured with a password which is a must for cyber-security. Most of the outlets are only two-prong, so travelers that might want to plug in certain electronics (e.g. laptop) may want to check with Anne to see if she has a converter. Anne prepared the two twin beds for us in the loft. They were comfortable but my coworker, who slept closer to the windows, said he got a little chilly. The stairs/ladder up to the loft are a little precarious, so I wouldn't recommend going up there if you are afraid of heights or have difficulty with narrow spaces. The house and neighborhood are both super quiet (at least during our stay). When we were in the living room, we could hear Anne and her husband in their part of the house pretty clearly, so other travelers should keep that in mind for monitoring their own noise levels. The location is great for those who want to be able to walk into town for meals or to do some local sightseeing. Lane's Island Preserve (The Nature Conservancy) is just to the south. Overall, we enjoyed our stay with Anne and are thankful for her hospitality.

Mao2016-09-20T00:00:00Z

The studio location was lovely, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time discovering the beautiful area, and the hosts gave helpful ideas of where to eat and to bicycle. I would recommend this lovely spot to friends.

Sally2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location and great accommodations. Worth repeating next year.

Jose2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

The location is very beautiful and easy to get to town and wonderful hikes. The host is very helpful with suggestions as well.

Quiet lane off a quiet road in Oceanville. Nearby business offers sailboat and kayak instruction, tours and rental.

This was our first experience with airbnb and it could not have been better the setting is on the Atlantic with a private beach and nearby, a bench overlooking the Atlantic. We watched a beautiful moonrise ascend one evening and swam in the refreshing Atlantic one afternoon. The apartment is newly remodeled and was stocked with wonderful welcome treats: fresh fruit, muffins, organic yogurt, etc. A microwave, refrigerator, limited cupboards, kitchen sink and table and chairs made for comfortable breakfast dining area. Susan was a caring, knowledgeable hostess. She provided tips to help enjoy the local area. She certainly gave us our privacy, but was available if we needed her. We are hoping to go back another time.

Kayleen2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

The quiet beauty, inside and out, was exquisite! A balm for the soul. We'd love to Go back sometime.

Pristine location Quiet accommodation Wonderful stay

Christian2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We just loved our stay! The studio apt is large and airy, with skylights and windows we kept open the entire time. Everything is so thoughtfully and beautifully constructed and decorated (we suspect those are Deer Isle granite counter tops!); also, a great shower and super comfortable bed, We arrived to a welcome note and raspberry muffins, homemade jam, yogurt, and granola in the fridge. Locally roasted coffee too--so good that we found the shop in Deer Isle and bought some to take home. Susan and John are very cool people--their gardens, both vegetable and flower, were amazing (we're mad at ourselves for not buying some of Susan's peaches). And we're fans of Tara, their dog. We walked the short pathway to the shore a number of times; the best was watching the sunrise and the lobster boats head out. We so highly recommend and hope to return.

Lyn Mikel2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

Susan's place is an absolutely perfect remote get away in Stonington! The apartment is separate from the main house and has all the basic amenities you beed for a great vacation. Everything was newly furnished and very comfortable. The location was in a beautiful part of the island right on the water, where you have benches to sit on and watch the sea. Susan was very accommodating and friendly, going out of her way to make us feel comfortable! She treated us to a pint of strawberries, locally roasted coffee, and beers in the fridge upon arrival. Overall, highly recommend it. Would love to come back soon. It's a beautiful and remote part of Maine

Nick 2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time at Paddler's Paradise. The location and the space were better than we could have hoped for. Susan was an excellent host and was very easy to communicate with and had some great recommendations for spots to paddle to. The little extra treats (muffins, yogurt, granola and blueberries) were the perfect touch. We had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Stonington area.

Lance2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Paddler's Paradise is a total treat. It's one of those places where you actually start to think that you maybe shouldn't write a review lest it become too popular and you might not get to come back. The little studio is tucked away above their garage up a set of stairs and is brand new and even still smells of new construction. It's very private and was perfect for a long weekend away. The kitchen was modest but we didn't need anything more than what was provided. The water is just a short walk down a path and has great views, rocks, trees, shells, etc. There are some seating areas down by the water and there's a screened patio just up the path a bit as well. The garden is full of flowers, fruits, vegetables and the peaches Susan grows are delicious. The home is quiet and tucked away, perfect for a getaway. We were provided freshly made granola, jam, muffins, and yogurt, all of which were absolutely delicious. The raspberry jam we had was incredible. The furniture is cozy and comfortable and the bathroom is brand new and clean. The showers are hot and water pressure is good. Even the cats lounging about the yard are friendly (Lulu followed us to the water and helped guide us back). Wifi can be a little spotty or slow at times so don't come expecting to do a lot of connected work (you should be outside anyway). Communication was a breeze and I never had any problems reaching out. Paddler's Paradise is highly recommended and I'm already thinking about my next trip back to Stonington.

Andrew2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

The location is spectacular for those who love the rocky coast of Maine, and particularly outstanding for anyone who kayaks or wants to learn. Walking down a beautiful garden path you reach the sea where there are natural pools to splash in, a place to launch or land a kayak, and private benches to sip wine at sunset. There is even a kayak rental place within a short paddling distance around Webb Cove. Susan was a gracious host who made sure we had all we needed. We hope to return.

Beautifully Renovated, the apartment in this historical home that is located at 38 East Main and corner of Pleasant Street, offers all the comforts of home, including Cable TV, Phone, WIFI and is within a 5 minute walk to Main St. Walk also to the ferry (10 min.), Swimming quarries, parks, preserves, picnicking, shopping, you name it! May be combined with the upstairs apartment to accommodate a larger group.

This Historical Home was owned by Woster S. Vinal, the last living Civil War Veteran on Vinalhaven. When he passed away in 1937 he left the home to his daughter. She gave the house to the Littlefields upon her death in 1975 and they made the upstairs an apartment. In 1999 the house was sold to Rodney Dyer who then turned the back shed into another apartment. Many updates have been done over the years to keep this home in great condtion. Still remaining is the trim and wood floors in the downstairs apartment. Now owned by Rodney's daughters, the home continues to be updated and in 2015 the downstairs apartment received new carpets and kitchen floor among removing wallpaper in 3 of the rooms. The lovely covered porch still remains from the original house and is a great place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee and evening cocktails. 1 Queen bedroom, and 1 King bedroom that is new this season. Living room, Cable TV, Wifi, Land Line Phone, Bathroom with tub/shower, stackable W/D in kitchen closet, fully equipped kitchen (no dishwasher) for your cooking needs.

Located on East Main St. and Pleasant St. Close to all amenities the town has to offer. Close to some beaches, quarries and town parks. Island Village Childcare is next door at the Parsonage. The children generally have outdoor time at 9:30 and again in the afternoon.

The house was clean, spacious, beautifully maintained and decorated. The photos do not do it justice. Beds were comfortable and bath was highly functional. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay. Our only disappointment was the sound of cars and trucks going by, especially when we were on the front porch in the late afternoon/early evening. We live in noisy, downtown Portland and were hoping for a more quiet environment. Didn't realize there was so much traffic on Main Street in Vinalhaven. Everything else was charming and comfortable and the street was quiet at night for sleeping.

Very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. Great location near town. We would recommend staying here.

Russell2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Plenty of room, VERY clean, and centrally located to town for meals, shopping, and visiting our friends in Vinalhaven. Great beds, two big bedrooms, full bath with a tub, plenty of hot water, fully equipped kitchen, huge living room couch, comfortable porch for sitting outside, well-connected to everything we needed and reasonable. A++++!

There truly is no better place to stay at if you find yourself in Vinalhaven. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to walk to and from dinner and the downtown area as the apartment is very conveniently located. Kristine is an excellent host and communication from the very beginning of the reservation was easy and quick. The apartment itself is extremely spacious, clean, and has almost everything you could need. (We did end up bringing our own fans since we knew A/C wasn't available, but it turns out there are ceiling fans in the bedroom with the king bed and the living room.) If you're not keen on biking or walking, everything is just a short drive away. For example, for swimming, Booth's quarry is about a 5 minutes drive in one direction and Lawson's is just a couple more minutes the other way.

Nice quiet in town location, easy walk to all the downtown restaurants and shops.

This Air BnB was just as I had hoped, with some extras thrown in! The room was exactly like the photo. Everything was very clean and well appointed. The bathroom and kitchen were especially well done. I actually cooked a meal in the kitchen and found everything I needed and then some (tin foil, veg. oil, etc). I was super pleased to find a hair dryer in the bathroom. Nice touch!

Alexander2015-10-12T00:00:00Z

Amy & Craig are the best! I really enjoyed my stay at their apartment on Vinalhaven. I have rented vacation homes a number of times all over the US, and I have to say they really are the best hosts I've ever rented from. They were highly responsive to any questions I had and provided several resources for what to do during my time on the island. I was there for a month, which was not nearly long enough. It was just me for this trip. The apartment would be great for a couple or a small family. The beds are comfy. The water pressure in the shower is great (always important!). The kitchen is stocked with the basics for cooking. There's a Roku box attached to the TV, which includes access to Netflix, but no cable. The apartment is perfectly located! You can easily walk to all the stores in the main part of town for whatever you might need (although stocking up on the mainland is a good idea since prices are a little higher on the island). There's a lot to explore on this island! Amy & Craig have a wealth of knowledge, so be sure to ask about wherever you want to go. One thing to note -- as of when I left, there was no reliable mobile phone service on the island. Rumors were that a tower may be coming soon. But Amy & Craig provided for that. I was able to use a landline phone and also could (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) over the wifi. And... after my first 10 minutes of panic when I first arrived on the island, I realized how wonderful it was to be able to turn off my phone and leave it off. Vinalhaven is a beautiful place to visit and you should go if you can. And you should definitely stay with Amy & Craig. You will be happy you did!!

Frank2012-08-01T00:00:00Z

Lovely and charming spot! Close to everything, very clean, cozy, friendly hosts! We will definitely return!

This property is very central to the charming seaport village of Vinalhaven. The lodgings include two quaint bedrooms opening on to a common kitchen/dining area. The kitchen has all the utensils and appliances you would ever need to prepare anything from a snack to a full course meal. The hosts are very pleasant and helpful; this was an excellent Air BnB experience and a property we would return to.

We had a great stay at Gwenythe's place. It was a 10-15 minute walk from the ferry, and just a few minutes from the restaurants in town. Communication was great, as were the blueberry scones provided for breakfast. Clean, quiet and comfortable for our 2 night stay. Would definitely recommend!

Michael2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Thank you for your warm hospitality and welcoming amenities! You have created a lovely space for a long or short visit. The decor is exquisite and very comfortable. We loved everything. The fresh flowers, artisanal soap, homemade cookies, cards--everything was so thoughtful. We would happily stay there again. And what a beautiful island!

Richard2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

Gwenythe was a wonderful host and went out of her way to make my first trip to Vinalhaven memorable. I was greeted with fresh flowers, blueberry scones, advice on dog-friendly shops and restaurants, and a trip to a local off-leash beach. As someone who likes to vacation with her pet when possible, it was a refreshing change to stay somewhere where my dog was welcome rather than there on sufferance. The apartment itself was very bright and cheerful. Although it's equipped with all the basics, the kitchen is better-suited to those planning to make the odd snack or sandwich as opposed to cooking full meals. The clawfoot bathtub in the bathroom is great and the bed is crazy comfortable. Other than the porch, there isn't a ton of outdoor space but there are plenty of places with great seaviews within a few minutes' walk, in addition to a number of shops and restaurants. Thanks for a great visit Gwenythe!

Stephanie2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

The Rose Ell is very fresh, clean, and cute. The bed gets five stars for comfort, with a great mattress and nice sheets. Other touches that we appreciated were the flower in the room, and the selection of brochures and maps for orientation. Gwenythe was very helpful with little things, like giving us milk when the store was already closed. Location of tbe Rose Ell is just outside the main business district of Vinalhaven, a quick walk or 2 minute bike ride away. It's a little further to the ferry terminal, but really not so far. We came with just bikes and were able to get around all over the islamd.

Marie2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

The Rose Ell is centrally located, easily accessible to the ferry by foot or bicycle. Easy five minute walk to the town center, and quick bike ride or drive to the quarries and nature areas. We loved the decoration and theme in the apartment, and would definitely recommend for an individual or couple that like a firm mattress.

Tim2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Gwenythe's place is terrific. It is quiet, it is a very easy walk into town, and it is extremely clean. The bed is AWESOME and comfortable. We were totally satisfied! Vinalhaven was a great adventure, can't wait to come back.

If you’ve ever fantasized about living in a restored barn, this is an opportunity to give it a try. The rental is an apartment in a barn that is attached to the small farmhouse with a shared ell. It is private, yet your hosts are just steps away. The house sits atop a hill overlooking a cove on Vinalhaven, an island 12 miles off shore from Rockland, Maine, accessed by the Maine State Ferry Service. The ferry ride to the island is approximately one hour and twenty minutes, and is a colorful introduction to the island, filled with visitors and locals returning from shopping on the mainland, kids, dogs and shopping carts in tow.
The house is in a working neighborhood - fishermen, caretakers, carpenters, professionals, as well as some summer residents.
There are cove and ocean views from the apartment’s upstairs bedroom, yet it is in a cozy neighborhood just a ten minute walk from Vinalhaven’s tiny waterfront downtown, which has a library, church, a medical center, art gallery, a few restaurants, a good market, a wine and cheese shop and a coffee shop. In the summer there is a weekly flea market and the local fisherman’s co-op has lobsters minutes from the sea. Visitors like to hike the many nature preserves and explore the stony beaches and working waterfront.
Cell phone coverage is limited on the island, but there is wireless internet. A small sunny deck off the open-plan kitchen/dining/living area looks out over the lawn and garden. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a beautiful Danish woodstove for use if the nights are chilly. The upstairs bath has a soaking tub with handheld shower.
Please note that after Labor Day the island is much quieter - restaurants may be closed or have more limited hours, etc.

We spend one week there and it was very nice !!! Beautiful place and Annie and Josh was very friendly and discreet. The apartment is amazing ! Very warm and comfortable. We enjoy making our own meal every day with this beautiful little kitchen :) We recommend this place very much Thank you Annie and Josh xxx

Ginette2014-07-27T00:00:00Z

This apartment is wonderful, along with the host. My girlfriend and I have stayed here twice and we love it. The apartment is immaculate and stunning. The location is great. I wouldn't change a thing. I highly recommend staying here if you have the opportunity.

Jason2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

I have not a single complaint about my stay on Vinalhaven. My husband and I went for our honeymoon, and it was the ideal secluded escape. Anna and Josh were right next door if we needed anything, but the place was so perfectly set up that not much help was needed. We cooked every day with produce from the absolutely gorgeous garden in the backyard and brewed coffee every morning with the french press. Every morning and night we heard fog horns sounding over the harbor - the same harbor we could see from out our bedroom loft window. The light in the bedroom was (URL HIDDEN) matter the time of day. The soaking tub was a relaxing treat. Not once aspect of the restored barn was aesthetically displeasing - every renovation was clearly done with a thoughtful eye and distinctive taste. I felt like I was living inside the pages of Kinfolk Magazine. Downtown Vinalhaven is just a short walk away - with a grocery store, liquor store, bookshop, and a few restaurants, it has about all you would need for a weekend getaway! I cannot more highly recommend this airbnb location; you will NOT regret it. Seekers of solitude, romance, and beauty will feel utterly at home here.

Kelly2014-08-06T00:00:00Z

Before heading to the island for our quiet New Year's getaway, we read ALL the other reviews of the barn. It actually felt like maybe they were paid advertisements, they were so effusive. But after spending three nights/four days there, I can honestly say ours won't be any different from the others. The barn was absolutely stunning. Simple and slick and warm (once we got the fire crackling) and cozy. We got off the ferry in time to catch the market, got a bunch of groceries and spent our time cooking in the kitchen (that had everything we needed), reading by the fire, playing cards, and exploring the island. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful bath. The upstairs bedroom is stunning - the sun paints it completely gold - and the thick plank floors are perfect for yoga. We only met Anna and Josh the day before we left (as they were away for the holidays), but they had left a phone in case we needed it and ours didn't work (Canadian phone, only had service in select areas of the island), but the internet was fast anyway so we could contact them if we had any problems. Which we didn't. Since we got back we can't stop saying "I want to go back to Vinalhaven." The only thing we regret is that we weren't there in the summer to experience what looks like a stunning garden right behind the barn. The island is not a place we ever would have thought to visit, so as a bonus we got to explore a totally new-to-us-area. We were so happy to ring in the new year in the barn in Vinalhaven. Can't recommend this place enough.

Alex2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Another beautiful, peaceful, restful stay here at Anna + Josh's restored barn. We look forward to it all year. Thanks again for such a lovely visit to one of our favorite spots on the planet.

Susa + Alexis2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

We had a marvelous time! Josh and Anna were warm and welcoming, helping us find our way around the island and directing us to restaurants and stores. They had breakfast foods waiting in the fridge and plenty of suggestions for scenic walks. They also kindly helped us figure out the protocol for our return ferry trip. The apartment was beautiful, and we miss the island already. Thanks for a great trip!

We are in-town so easy walking around. Beautiful harbor scenic overlook is short walk away on Blueberry Lane. Also short walk to fascinating historical society.

Caleb's house is a find. Lovely, simple, excellent location. No need to drive for the basics. Highly recommend leaving the car behind and bringing bikes. Saves on the ferry and it's the perfect place for it. Caleb is a gracious host.

Julia2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Caleb's apartment, close to the conveniences of town and a great home-base from which to explore the island's many trails and waterways. The kitchen was fully-stocked for self-catering, and for those so inclined lobsters can be had a five minute walk from home, to the fisherman's co-op on the harbor front. Larger families would benefit from the second bedroom with two twin beds. We used the primary bedroom with en-suite. Both bedrooms are upstairs, and the second bedroom is accessed through the first. All-in-all it suited our needs perfectly. And we enjoyed a game of cribbage one rainy afternoon... many other games to choose from!

Daniel2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Caleb's apartment was perfect for our visit to Vinalhaven. It was comfortable and clean, and within easy walking distance to town. We would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone else looking for a place to stay on the island.

Emma2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

What a great place this was for us! Convenient, affordable, cute, had everything we needed and the beds we oh so comfy!

Angella2016-07-01T00:00:00Z

The home is lovely, roomy and In walking distance to town. It has everything you need to feel comfortable. The area is safe and you don't need to lock doors.

Deer Isle is a lesser traveled but stunningly beautiful part of the Maine coastline. GlimmerGlass Cottage, tucked in the woods, the ocean a mile away, echoes the area's rustic appeal and artistic good taste. Bar Harbor and Acadia are accessible, but can easily take over 1.5 hours each way on busy roads. You'll find plenty to do and see right on Deer Isle. July and August are high season, so plan ahead! Off season rates in September.

Picture perfect, total comfort in one bedroom compact apartment attached to a working stained glass studio. Perfect for one or two adults only, and sorry, we cannot host children or pets. Nestled in the woods on a quiet country road, just a half mile from Sylvester's Cove and Penobscot Bay. Your own kitchenette for light meals, a sun and shade deck overlooking our gardens. A small BBQ available by request for grilling.
We designed and built this adorable space for ourselves and our favorite guests. Everything in it has been chosen for comfort and beauty. Sleep under handmade quilts on a feather bed with the glow of a custom stained glass window as a night light. Relax in the tiny parlor and watch a movie from our DVD collection, have coffee and read on your own deck. Make breakfast (I'll treat you to blueberry muffins or popovers one morning, if you wish) or a sandwich in the efficient kitchenette, fridge (stocked with a few basics), coffee maker, microwave and toaster oven provided. Your own modern bath has an extra large shower and plenty of hot water.

Spring on the island brings fresh green leaves and flowers. Deer Isle slowly comes to life after a cold and snoozy winter. Foodies, be on the watch for dandelion greens, fiddleheads, and rhubarb. The restaurants start opening up. Locals watch for Madeline's opening day in May.
Things start to rock by the end of June, and really get rolling by July 4th with a parade and fireworks, the whole traditional shebang. July and August are intensely active. The summer people are in their homes, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in full session, the Opera House busy with live productions, and all restaurants and businesses going at full tilt. Special foods? Lobsters of course, crab meat rolls, steamed clams, fresh strawberries, and whoopee pies. Blueberries ripen in August. Be on the lookout for craft beers.
Fall on the island means clear warm days, cool crisp nights. September and October really are the nicest months here. We get the gorgeous bright colored leaves, mixed with dark greens of the firs, and the blueberry fields turn bright red. The summer traffic (never really that bad) calms down, though most shops and restaurants are still open and easier to enjoy.
Much of the Maine coast is heavily touristy. Not Deer Isle. The island got connected to the mainland with an impressive bridge about 75 years ago, but acts like it happened last week. There are summer people, most with their own seasonal cottages, many who have histories on the island of a hundred years or more. So there are few motels (only a couple, and they are not the Holiday Inn), a couple of B & B's, and a handful of restaurants. The feeling is much more of a working island than a tourist destination. Stonington, on the southern tip, brings in the largest lobster catch in the state.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage: it was exactly as pictured, super clean, and had everything we needed. The two highlights of our stay were (as everyone has mentioned!) the blueberry muffins, and being able to see sooooo many of the stars in the night sky that the milky way was actually visible!

alexandria2014-08-26T00:00:00Z

Lovely cottage in a beautiful and peaceful part of Maine. The space is small, but very comfortable and well appointed. Kathryn and Drew were incredibly helpful with suggestions of things to do and answered all our questions about the area. We would highly recommend Glimmerglass cottage and hope to return in the future.

Christine2015-08-13T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing trip at Glimmerglass! Kathryn + Drew were completely welcoming and their space is cozy and well stocked for a weary travelers needs. I was quite directionally challenged and Kathryn was really resourceful by phone to get us to beautiful Deer Isle. We only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay for many more. There was homemade muffins awaiting us and they had turned up the heat, as the evenings were just starting to become chilly. (Worth mentioning, we had a FANTASTIC dinner in neighboring Stonington named Aragosta, very much recommended.) The stainglassed work within the efficiency itself was eyecatching -- and we needed to know more! Drew took us for a tour of his studio in the morning and gave us some great insight of what it entails to create these beautiful stainglassed pieces and windows. He was so kind, patient and knowledgeable with our questions. They mentioned potentially running some small tutorials/workshops next year -- sign us up! Deer Isle truly makes you feel a world away and Glimmerglass is the perfect destination to see it all!

Allie2013-10-25T00:00:00Z

We had a really great time staying in Kathryn's cottage. It's in such a beautiful setting, looking out over a massive vegetable garden with woods beyond. It felt really private, but it was great to have Kathryn's home close by incase we needed help/advice - which we did - Kathryn gave us all her lobster cooking equipment and really kindly bought out an outdoor stove for us to use. A massive effort had also been made to make our stay really easy and pleasant, with stuff like butter jam and milk in the fridge, fresh flowers in the rooms, and hot muffins left outside in the morning. Thanks so much, we'll definitely come back! P.s to anyone else going to Deer Isle, we really liked going to watch the sunset at the beach right by cottage, and we also bought fresh lobsters for $5 each off a fishing boat by the lobster co-op in Stonington, 1-2 pm is a good time to go!

toby2014-09-11T00:00:00Z

We wanted a peaceful, quiet and relaxing place and chose to go to Deer Isle, which is just that. Kathryn's place is very nice. It's cozy and comfy. There are windows all around so you can constantly enjoy the view of the trees and the sound of the birds. Kathryn and Drew are very nice. She made us delicious popovers which we so enjoyed. There is very good coffee that we enjoyed every morning. The cottage is in a wonderful spot, in the middle of the woods, and very close to water. We enjoyed walking every chance we got. It's also close to Stonington, which is really nice if you want to go out to eat, or do a little shopping, or, do more walking :-) We would come back and stay with Kathryn and Drew, for sure.

Glimmerglass provided a wonderful setting for a weekend on Deer Isle. The location was remote (in a good way) but close to restaurants, coffee shops, the waterfront, and galleries. The apartment was cozy and had a comfortable bed, living room, small kitchen, and bathroom. Kathryn and Andrew were welcoming and accessible when needed. I recommend this Airbnb.

Deer Isle is situated at the end of the Blue Hill peninsula. It is teeming with wildlife
and natural beauty. Hundreds of small islands are accessible by kayak. The community is comprised of hard working fisherman as well as hard working artists. Stonington is one of the few authentic, fishing communities remaining on the coast. You can stroll the fish pier and watch fisherman unload their daily catch or walk across the street to the historic Stonington Opera House, which hosts many theater productions, concerts and movies.
When you arrive, we will furnish you with a list of activities, hiking trails, places off the beaten path, restaurants etc.
There is no smoking anywhere on the property.
Acadia is 90 minutes by car in summer traffic.

Katy was a wonderful host, very generous with suggestions for things to do. Accommodations were ample, setting was wooded (think hummingbirds, wood thrush, lovely deck surrounded by trees), location excellent. Kitchen is complete so you can definitely plan to cook, including pot large enough to cook your own lobsters, a key local industry. Exactly as advertised, and a great way to visit Deer Isle.

Mary2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Katy and Jeff are warm and friendly hosts, who love dogs! Their place is bohemian, artsy, unique and interesting, filled with thought-provoking books and intriguing, colorful works of art. Beautiful woods and meadows surround their home, which were stunning with the lupine in bloom -- peaceful to sit and contemplate, and wonderful for my pups to frolic upon. Katy was gracious with her time and knowledge about Deer Isle, as well as tips on where to go to explore hidden salt marshes and beaches (together with their Scotties, Bell and Whistle) -- which gave me an insider's view of (and appreciation for) life on this lovely Maine island. Thank you Katy and Jeff!

Jenny2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

Katy's apartment is wonderful! It's in a great location, private and quiet and close to spectacular kayaking spots. Katy was especially kind and thoughtful in giving tips about where to go and things to do while on Deer Isle. I would return again immediately if I could!

Caroline2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Katy's place is perfect for a relax vacation. Both Katy and her husband Jeff are quite friendly and gave us very detailed info around the place. Katy even called fisherman to make sure we can buy fresh lobster on Sunday! Her two Scottish dogs are really cute and adorable. Our Dobby loves them. Hope we can stay longer next time! Thanks Katy and Jeff again for hosting us.

Shuo2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Katy is a wonderful and generous host. She is an amazing, interesting, fun person and great artist, she has many awesome suggestions of things to do and see on the Island, and her home is incredibly beautiful. We really really enjoyed our stay with her!

Alessia2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Katy! We had such a great time! The apartment was beautiful and had everything we could have needed, the island(s) are gorgeous and you were the perfect host - filled with insider tips, perfectly located to points of interest. So glad to have met you and we will be back! <3

elissa2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

Katy is an amazing artist and her art makes the place so unique. Very comfortable space, lovely deck and really comfortable bed. Katy and Jeff were so helpful with directions and ideas but gave us plenty of privacy. So many wonderful little extras from Qtips, wine and lemonade, iced tea, cheese and crackers for our arrival. Absolutely lovely woods, quiet and yet close to everything.

Catherine2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Katy's place was wonderful! The accommodations were comfortable, quiet, beautiful, and thoughtfully prepared for guests. It was the right location for us, with plenty to do within a short drive. She was very helpful with local recommendations, and we had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend in Deer Isle with a great home base.

A lovely studio apartment in an old Deer Isle Farmhouse, this is a fun small space suitable for one or two people. The house in has a total of three units one of which is yours. Bathroom photos coming soon.

Affordable accomdations near the heart of Deer Isle village. Comfortable and clean, with a Futon, and well equipped efficiency kitchen. Centrally located, this place makes a wonderful home base for exploring all mid coast Maine has to offer.

Deer Isle is a magical place. I am so grateful to have landed here. The natural beauty overwhelms, even after 25 years here. My little spot on this island is "centrally located." That means it is on the main road. If you are very sensitive to road noise this might not be the best fit. There is an ac that also can function as "white noise," I also provide disposable foam earplugs. I love traveling through airbnb and enjoy the variety of accomodations available. I hope this might be just the right spot for you!

Room worked with out a hitch!

Cameron2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

A clean and comfortable studio apartment on beautiful Deer Isle. Lori loves her home and shared so many hilights of the area - nature, music, restaurants. We had a wonderful day trip to Isle Au Haut on the ferry from Stonington and a great Sunday morning jam session at Church of the Morning After. Loved meeting Jennie Summerall in her collage gallery in Deer Isle Village. Lori' s studio with kitchen, comfy bed and close by market gave us everything we needed for a great experience. Thanks Lori!

Lydia 2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

I had a great time staying at Lori's studio. It had everything I needed and street noise was not a problem at all. There is so much to do in the area -- I definitely recommend taking the mailboat to Isle Au Haut. And try to get on a tour of Haystack Mountain School Of Crafts to see that beautiful campus. I definitely recommend!

Tyler2017-06-02T00:00:00Z

The room was very comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped and easy to cook in. The bathroom was very clean, roomy, with more than enough towels. the farmhouse was near everything. Lori could not have been a better host. We were in regular communication before, during, and after I arrived. We enjoyed sometime in Lori's outdoor kitchen and shared a snack. Lori could not have been a more welcoming, helpful host!

I felt so lucky to arrange a getaway to Maine for a whole week and so pleased that Lori's space was available. She's made some nice improvements since I was here in the spring! I really like the option to prepare some of my own meals. I got my groceries at the Blue Hill Farmer's Market Saturday morning and really made the most of the simple but well equipped kitchen. I didn't see much of Lori as she seems to work all the time but she did make time to give me a ukulele lesson. I had never played anything before. Now I am planning to get a ukulele! (There was a uke in the room for guests, which got me playing around a bit.) There were some simple breakfast items, like Ezekiel raisin bread in the freezer, almond butter, coffee and organic half and half and some amazing apples from her tree. Just right for my first breakfast before getting my groceries for the week. The location is right on the main road so there is some road noise, as others have noted. It didn't bother me, although I did run the fan at night, which probably helped. Overall I feel this place is a bargain. Hope to come back next year!

Jen2015-10-09T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful experience staying at Lori's. She communicated thoroughly and quickly ahead of time, made sure I had detailed directions and provided me with information about the places I was interested in checking out during my stay. The apartment has everything needed for one or two people looking for a cozy, simple, well-equipped place to stay while visiting Deer Isle. It is about a 10 minute drive from the small town of Stonington which has a ferry service to Isle au Haut. It is also a good home base if you are interested in driving to visit other small midcoast Maine towns/islands.

Emma2015-08-29T00:00:00Z

Arrived to a brightly lit and welcoming room. Lori is a lovely and helpful hostess. The location is wonderful for Stonington, Deer Isle, Blue Hill, etc. and I got to visit all my favorite places. Even the weather deserves a compliment. Wish I could have stayed all week - all month!

This is an above garage apartment with side entrance off the deck. Water views since the ocean is right across the road. Public beach at Bridge's Point is less than a half mile away. This property is not heated but there are a couple space heaters available after August. All linens supplied. Well behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval.

Located on the southern tip of the Blue Hill peninsula, and within walking distance to the ocean, this spot makes for a lovely getaway. Just two miles away is the center of Brooklin with a great general store, library, pub and restaurant. Brooklin is home to many talented artists, writers, and wooden boat builders as well as Wooden Boat magazine and school. EB White's former home, a farmhouse is located in North Brooklin. Mount Desert Island is about an hour away(allow for a little longer in the summer) and offers the astoundingly beautiful Acadia National Park and the popular town of Bar Harbor. If you drive in the opposite direction you can cross the Deer Isle/Stonington bridge and take a day exploring extremely beautiful scenery, rent kayaks and explore islands, or shop and dine in downtown Stonington or the village of Deer Isle itself. If you make your way to Caterpillar Hill you will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful views in the world. This is also where you can pick blueberries and swim in Walker's Pond. Then make your way to Brooksville. Bagaduce Lunch, which is located on the Bagaduce River where you can watch the reversing falls, horseshoe crabs in spring, possibly eagles and other birds, and eat their delicious fried clams or the biggest fried haddock sandwich around. Don't miss it. Also wanted to note, the house at 471 Reach Rd is not owner occupied but I am just a text or phone call away. Sometimes I am out of town but the apartment will be ready for you and the door will be unlocked.

The neighborhood has been known to be home to lots of wild critters. Bears, fox, deer and porcupines. You may hear a porcupine at night because they climb the weeping willow tree out back and chew off the branches. If you hear either a cute sound or one that sounds like a screaming baby it's most likely the porcupines. They will be gone in the morning.

This apartment is in a lovely location with a beautiful water view from the little outside porch area. Unfortunately the steps leading up to the garage apartment may be challenging for older folks. The kitchen is quite well equipped and the beds are comfortable. The sheets towels and bedding were all quite nice and in generous supply. I think one should be aware however that the bathroom shower is quite small..but can accommodate a quick clean up! There is inadequate wifi here and you should check if your cell phone carrier will work in this area. I have verizon and it was not one of the carriers that receives service here. Also I'd recommend that you bring food if you plan to cook in..as there are no food stores within quick driving distance. The area is gorgeous and we particularly loved driving into Blue Hill and Stonington. If you get there try going to the cockatoo Portuguese Restaurant ...a bit of a trek but worth it...about four miles outside of town.it was great fun...has good food and is right on the water!

Judith2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Nice little apartment for 2 or 4 and thoroughly supplied with everything you will need and more. Very comfortable bedrooms. All spotlessly clean. Lobsterman across the road was a bonus and only a short distance to a little public beach/shoreline. Lots of things to see in the area and a nice place to come home to.

Doris2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Elizabeth communicated well. The place was small but comfortable. It was old fashioned but appreciated the antique furniture and her grandma's memorable things. It was well equipped with everything you would need and then some. She did provide some continental type breakfast foods. The internet worked but couldn't get the TV going. Would have liked that. It was very well cleaned and the beds were comfortable (1 queen - 1 double) 2 queens would have been better as we had 4 adults. The price was good for 4 people but probably not so if there were only 2. It was near a lobster place and that was wonderful. Got 5 large lobsters and steamed them ourselves. She had 2 pots for them, too. Had to drive a bit for a grocery store but it was scenic.

barbara2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

There are many beautiful places nearby. We look forward to exploring more of the area in the not too distant future. Thanks Elizabeth

Charles2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

True to the description, Liz was accommodating and friendly, and gave some wonderful suggestions on where to go and what to do during our stay!

Alycia2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

This is a great little apartment on the main drag into Brooklin (a road that is totally quiet at night). Very clean and full of little details that would be great for viistors -- puzzles, guidebooks, games, videos, books, maps, etc. Great little kitchen and eating area, comfortable living room. Two small bedrooms. small bathroom and tiny shower. View of the ocean and a second-floor deck with ocean view. The host was a great communicator and all went smoothly. The apt is next to a house that is rented but the tenants weren't there when I was there. Brooklin is great as is the whole Blue Hill Peninsula. Read E B White while you're visiting!

Kerry2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

We had a nice stay at Elizabeth's. The apartment is on top of the house garage. It was easy to find and clean when we arrived. Wifi was installed during our visit and it was fast. I would recommend Elizabeth's place to others.

Contemporary loft apt, full living-room/kitchen area with half-bath, open air old fashioned tub in loft bedroom. Romantic! Pull-out couch on first floor. Can sleep 2-4. Located on a peninsula, enjoy breathtaking views, on premise restaurant and dining, and the beach.

Off the beaten path, lovely quiet dead-end road, obviously right on the ocean. Nothing to hear other than wind and waves. Definitely rustic, but has everything you need.

Enjoyed our stay at Flye Barn Apt - Butch and staff at The Lookout Inn were very nice and helpful. Booked the Apt for two nights but the folks occupying the barn before us failed to leave. Butch got us set up In a cozy cabin the first night and we moved into the Flye Barn for our second night. Rustic, clean and comfortable. Nice views. Would stay there again!

We spent 2 nights at this airbnb to enjoy the beautiful nature and being close to Acadia National Parc. The drive to the parc is about 1 hour, which is fine for daytrips. This airbnb is surrounded by nature and water with amazing sunsets and views. Butch is a very nice guy with a good sense of beer. He is very welcoming and being very experienced in the area he can give you good hints where to go. We really enjoyed the stay!

Great Loaction with great views! We didn't really see Butch, which was not a problem for us. However, the floor was not as clean as we would have expected and there is no way to lock the entrance door from the outside.

Spare and lovely little cottage apartment. The view of the sunrise on the water from bed every morning was glorious.

Awesome place. Very cozy, quiet and right on the ocean with great views at night. My girlfriend especially loved it because there is no TV to distract me. So she got a lot of quality time. Lol. 45 mins from Acadia if wondering. Loved being away from the hustle and bustle. Would stay at again.

Sunny, quiet apartment with full kitchen, full bathroom, and private waterfront access. Five minute walk or one minute drive to public waterfront and boat launch.

Quiet pastoral neighborhood along the Benjamin River is a favorite location for walkers, joggers, and bicyclists.

Our stay was peaceful and comfortable here! We weren't quite sure what "apartment" meant in context but it was as we hoped - the downstairs of a quite secluded house near the water. Quiet and wonderful. Nice decor, warm welcome, and very attentive hosts. It's relatively close to Bar Harbour and other destinations nearby though we mostly stuck close to home. The Co-op in Blue Hill was a great place for lunch, coffee, and health food. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was great for this. We unfortunately had to bring some work with us and the wifi was much appreciated. We were able to get stuff done and still have plenty of relaxing time. I had knee surgery and was on crutches, the place was accessible for me and the shower was perfect - not all airbnb listings in Maine are so :) Lastly, just a side note - t-mobile does not have data coverage out here (or in most of Maine it seems.) We accidentally used our data roaming allotment on the road and were out of luck for the week. Another thumbs up for the wifi. We did have text/voice on our phones. Overall, highly recommended!

Ian's apt is very cute and has all that you need for a lovely few nights. It was located close to our friend's so was perfect for us. It is a great spot for visiting some of the loveliest parts of Maine.

Ian, and Nancy where great. The only thing if I could suggest anything is be more clear about directions to the place, and update the bed it was a little uncomfortable.

Ian and his mother were very helpful. The apartment is nicely set up. Full kitchen with full sized refrigerator. It is cosy and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful. We mostly came and went so didn't take advantage of sitting outside in the garden but there were chairs set up there. This place is a great deal. We were centrally located and enjoyed several days of short drives to Acadia, Deer Isle, Montville (glassblowing with David Jacobson), and the Chainsaw artist Ray in Hancock. A terrific trip!

We had a great stay at Ian's place in Sedgwick! While it was it was more secluded than we anticipated, it offered lovely views and was not far from Bar Harbor and Deer Isle! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quiet getaway with some great views!

This is a cozy, clean, cute apartment set in a secluded setting - very quiet and private. In 30 minutes we were able to drive to Stonington to take the ferry to Isle au Haut to hike a quiet part of Acadia National Park (the cost is $91 for 2). There was coffee, milk, and cereal provided which was great.
